UrðrWP (Urd) (ウルズWP, Uruzu?), Class Name Beast (ビース, Bīsuto?), is a Beast-class Servant faced by Chaldea Security Organization during the After-Time of Fate/Grand Order. She is a Demibeast comprising a single Beast along with her sisters, Skuld and Verdandi.
When not expressing her Beast Saint Graph, she is an Archer-class Servant, Archer of Ragnarök (終末のアーチャー, Shūmatsu no Achā?), later summoned by Ritsuka Fujimaru.
Profile
Identity
The eldest of the three Norns. Among them, Urðr governs the "Past" aspect of time. If one were to compare life to a spun thread, she is a being that exists at the very starting point of that thread. However, she does not manipulate the thread once it has been spun. The past is the past precisely because it cannot be changed, and fate is fate precisely because it is set in stone or so she believed.[2]
Appearance
Personality
Urðr describes herself as a laid-back and carefree big sister. Perhaps because she was a goddess who governed the past, or perhaps because she is unused to being commanded as a Servant, there exist distortions in the modern knowledge she is supposed to have been granted. For example, she mistakenly believes her second ascension outfit to be "an incredibly fashionable outfit tailored to the sensibilities of the modern era".
She even thought that maybe, just maybe, the esteemed status of Chaldea's trendsetter was a dream within reach. While she could be considered kind and gentle enough to have a good relationship with, her mindset is fundamentally that of a Divine Spirit and not of a human. She possesses a truly mechanical way of thinking and has no human feelings at all.[2]
Relationships
- Meltryllis
- "You girl over there, wait a moment. Your name is? ...I see, Meltryllis. Since the memory isn't registered within you, it probably won't ring a bell, but it seems you've transgressed quite far into my domain. There won't be a second time, but make sure you don't do it again. Next time, you'll end up having to bear a mortal sin."[1]
- Cú Chulainn (Caster)
- "That Caster over there... I see, so that kind of method exists as well. Still, it does seem as if a mountain of troubles has been dumped on you... Honestly, for being the chief god of the nine realms, he's a real piece of work. For that matter, about the Valkyries... hm? Oh, he's gone."[1]
- Ishtar
- "Ah, the goddess of Venus, I see. She seems just as greedy as they say. "All she wants is jewels"? In that case, shouldn't she step down as goddess of Venus? She really may as well just rebrand as the goddess of Ruby Planet, or something."[1]
- Kama
- "A god representing unrestrained love, huh... But no matter how I look at her, with my goddess eyes, she seems to be sprinting straight down the path of true love, or am I mistaken? "She says she's a wicked god that will corrupt all of humanity"...? I see. Well, I suppose this is what they call a regional characteristic..."[1]
- Quetzalcoatl
- "The supreme deity of the Aztecs. A benevolent god, yet a god of war... I see, so that's why she's so well-versed in pro-wrestling. In other words, she has designated pro-wrestling as a ritual carried out by the god of war. Still, it's hard to approach her carelessly. It feels like all my threads of fate would get incinerated in one go... and character-wise, she's a bit scary..."[1]
- Tezcatlipoca
- "So that is the Aztec god of fate... His intent is... no, I simply can't make it out. Knowing full well that they won't hit, why does he prefer using weapons that miss...? He has absolute, 100% accuracy with everything... except for with guns...? Me? Oh, well, I am the goddess who governs the past. I would simply cut away the pasts where my strike missed, leaving only the past where it hit to be the true, rightful path of fate... Wait, that god is also a god of fate, right? So why does he miss at all? Is there some kind of big secret behind it...?"[1]

Abilities
Skills
Class Skills
- Magic Resistance (A Rank):
- Independent Action (EX Rank):
- Divine Core of the Norn (A Rank): A composite skill that includes Divinity. As one of the three Nornir, she manifests with a divine core. Usually, it is beyond specifications of rank, but when summoned by Chaldea, it is limited to A-rank.[2]
- Primordial Rune (― Rank): She possesses runes, magical inscriptions of Norse origin.[2]
Personal Skills
- Weaver of Fate (Past) (A Rank): The Nornir spin golden threads to determine the life, destiny, and lifespan that all lives must follow. In the World of Magecraft, there is a theory that they were not so much personified deities but were instead a sort of mechanical existence that ensured the continued function of the concept of "fate" during the Age of Gods. According to this theory, a certain Norse-aligned magus depicted this bizarre existence as a combination of a spinning wheel and loom -- spinning, twisting, and weaving golden threads -- then went mad and died.[2]
- Godseal of Yore (EX Rank): The Nornir inscribe even the destinies of the gods with their runes. Even the Norse gods, who ruled over Asgard with their great power, shall meet their fated ends at Ragnarök.[2]
- The Weaver (B+ Rank): The name "Urðr" itself means "Fate" and "The Weaver". She can be said to be the divinity that best represents the Nornir.[2]
- Nega-Tíð (C Rank): The ability to completely halt the flow of time around oneself. With the exception of Ritsuka Fujimaru, Azrael, and David, Urðr froze Chaldea's forces in time during the climax of her battle with them.[4]
